Water treatments and management
Water treatments and managementOur long history in water management and treatment allows us to make proper use of the various technologies applicable to water treatment.
We offer sustainable solutions and customization for water treatment projects. We operate in both the industrial and environmental sectors.
In our company we offer all kinds of products and services related to good water management to provide the highest quality in its consumption.
Types of water treatment
Industrial Osmosis
Taking into account the scarcity of the natural water resource, Llaberia implements the industrial osmosis process to convert brackish and salt water into drinking water. Pretreatment is necessary before carrying out this treatment. We condition the water to avoid decreasing the elements that may impair the treatment performance. We analyze in depth the state of the water, both in dissolution and suspension, and thus perform the treatment properly.
Reverse osmosis is a technological process of water purification. The system is based on applying a certain pressure on a concentrated solution. The solution will pass through semi-permeable membranes that will retain as many salts as possible, in order to obtain water with less salinity.
Reverse osmosis is increasingly in many industrial applications, especially when there is a need for large filtrations.
Advantages of industrial osmosis
Thanks to this water treatment, very positive solutions have been found for the industrial sector. For example:
- Reduce many operating costs.
- Improving water quality as a product.
- Purify and recover large amounts of water.
- Remove dissolved and suspended organic solids.
Industrial Ultrafiltration (UF)
The industrial ultrafiltration system is the system through which we perform a process of separation by pressure by membranes,water is not purified by a chemical or biological process. Thanks to this system it is possible to remove the particles contained in the water (colloids, sediments, etc.).
In addition, ultrafiltration effectively eliminates both bacteria and the vast majority of viruses. With this system it will no longer be necessary to use clarifiers or multimedia filters.
The usual design of this system consists of a UF module with external flow configuration that allows less plugging, greater solids load, greater flow area and easy cleaning.
Llaberia Group supplies a complete line of standard Ultrafiltration systems that are fully customizable according to the needs of each customer.
Advantages of UF systems
Llaberia Group's UF membrane systems are more reliable and effective than a multi-media convention filter. Thanks to this, it provides the following advantages:
- Increased filtration rendition and high flow.
- Very small nominal pore diameter (0.03 m).
- Effectively eliminates bacteria and viruses.
- Air maintenance and washing to optimize performance.
- Low-key membrane modules.
- Reduced capping and a higher load of solids.
- Basic modular design, vertical, compact and economical cost.
- Effective membrane cleaning has high chemical resistance and temperature tolerance.
Industrial ultrafiltration applications
This industrial technology is increasingly being used, especially in the following applications:
- Reverse Osmosis Pretreatment.
- Drinking water treatment plants for the extinction of viruses and bacteria.
- Treatment of residuals, for reuse.
- Purification ofGuas Minerales.
- Food Industry.
- Pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology for above concentration, pyrogen removal, etc.
Descaling
Water descaling is a fundamental treatment in multiple industrial processes. Water contains lime that normally inlays that cause breakdownsAnd,therefore, an increase in costs maintenance and increased energy consumption.
Once the water is in a descaling state all these inlays will stop being created and the performance of the installations will improve noticeably.
Llaberia Group has the necessary equipment and infrastructure to carry out these water treatment processes ensuring high reliability and a special design to enhance the saving of salt and water generation.
In our company we adapt to any need presented by the client and design to measure their project. We carry out industrial softener projects for small, medium and large flows. When it comes to a descaling process for large flows Llaberia designs the process from the beginning with all the necessary elements.
Nitrification and denitrification
This process involves removing nitrogen from wastewater. The result is achieved by two stages. The first is nitrification, where the oxygen demand of ammonia decreases, but nitrogen is not yet eliminated.
In the second stage, denitrification, nitrogen becomes a gaseous element that eventually becomes eliminated.
For Llaberia this treatment in waste water is the most appropriate biological method due to its high degree of effectiveness, reliability and also with a lower cost than other methods.
Pumping equipment
From Llaberia Group we take care of the design, supply and installation of pumping equipment that the customer needs. We are specialists in integral systems pumping with unmatched quality.Together with our products we offer the engineering, experience, advice, review and solution of the most common problems that can arise in a hydraulic installation. We provide effective solutions for general water supply, water for industrial processes and pressure water for general services.
We carry out installations for the following cases and more:
- Industrial pressure groups.
- Community pressure groups.
- Pumping wastewater.
- Groundwater elevation.
- Pumping for irrigation, etc.
Industrial disinfection
At Llaberia Group we care about the quality and health of water. That's why we have a high range of water disinfection equipment, both for the different types of disinfection and in flow rates to be treated.
We offer the possibility of different types of water disinfection processes on an industrial level. They are as follows:
Disinfection of water by chlorination
Sodium hypochlorite is the most economical and reliable formula for water disinfection. Thanks to the application of the product in the water and following the regulations, the organic matter that can contain the water is oxidized and a water is obtained disinfected and prepared to be consumed.
In our company we have water disinfection equipment through dosing of semi-automatic and automatic sodium hypochlorite. Automatic equipment gives great safety and control, as they regulate the amount of free chlorine in the water and if necessary doses the product with the appropriate intensity and quantity. PH should also be monitored to avoid significant variations.
Ultraviolet water disinfection
The application of ultraviolet light in the water objectives to attack the body's DNA to destroy its ability to reproduce and infect it. Through the use ofUV light lamps,water is recirculated. At the exit of the equipment you get a water without infections and ready for installation.
Llaberia Group takes care of any type of flow that the client raises. We range from low flow rates, such as laboratory water, to high industrial volumes that are needed in the food or processing industry.
Ozone water disinfection
Ozone is an agent with a lot of disinfection power thanks to its great oxidation capacity. Ozone destroys the cell wall and leaves the microorganism completely inactive. Depending on the water you need to disinfect (closed-circuit water, waste water, water for human consumption) Llaberia hydraulic solutions design the team more appropriate to the that the customer notifies.
Aerostrips: fine bubble diffusers
Thanks to the collaboration of Llaberia Group with Iberospec, a leading company in the water treatment and environmental management sector, we have diffusers with polyurethane membranes mounted on a PVC or stainless steel body. Unlike EPDM membranes, polyurethane does not require additives or plasticizers that are degraded.
By using these diffusers we transmit to microorganisms the oxygen necessary for bacteria to produce enzymes that help break down residues so that they can settle in secondary decanters or be filtered by membranes.
Our diffusers have an extraordinary long life cycle, retaining their maximum performance during years of operation, decades of experience and world-class quality management. We inspire our customers around the world.
Advantages of fine bubble diffusers
- High aeration efficiency.
- High oxygen transfer efficiency.
- Less operating energy,compared to thick bubbles.
- Easily adaptable to replace.
- Low emissions of organic compounds.
- It is a solution to high oxygen demands.
Treatment stations: ETAP and EDAR
Being true to our commitment to the environment we actively participate in the constructions of ETAP and EDAR stations. Our company acts in the process of the different treatments that the water receives,such as: desalination, denitrification, descaling, osmosis, etc.
What is an ETAP?
A drinking water treatment station (ETAP) is the infrastructure where water is managed in such a way that it becomes the ideal water for human consumption. In ETAP different types of treatments are carried out to carry out this process, and these is where Llaberia Group comes into action.
What is an EDAR?
A wastewater treatment plant (EDAR) is the infrastructure in which wastewater is treated, water that has already been used for both urban and industrial consumption.
This wastewater is subjected to a series of chemical, physical and biological treatments in order to exterminate all the contaminating particles that it may contain. After being purified, this water is returned to its natural environment, where it will subsequently be collected again for water purification and human consumption.
Thus, Llaberia offers companies the necessary hydraulic solutions in both treatment stations to carry out in the most optimal way the treatment of the right water in each case.
